Totally, that whole writeup about his daily routine with that "portable" computer. He wasn't self aware enough to get outside his own nonesense.

What was wrong with that? Seemed pretty interesting as an alternative to working in doors.
For reference here is the piece:

My view- put the work down and take a darn walk.

This is not the behavior of a man in balance, or someone who is truly "here".

That is a long articld, what exactly do you mean?

I mean, he certainly does not seem in balance, because he is very full of himself. But his working setup is interesting.

I mean his working setup is not interesting, and not even the basic standard.

For $500 on amazon one can get a decent sit stand desk (not the thing that sets on a desk, that's not nearly as ergonomic), a under desk treadmill or stair stepper, several monitors and a stand. It would be better than his setup.

To me, this blog post is a microcosm of his broader work.
